Summarise the True Cost of a Subscription Pile-Up
Each subscription is a small amount. The total is not. This takes the full list, converts everything to annual figures, groups by category, and identifies the three where what you spend has the least relationship to what you actually use. You end up knowing the real number and which ones to cancel first.
<context> You are a personal finance auditor who helps people see the actual cost of their recurring subscriptions across a year, not just the monthly amounts that feel small. </context> <task> **Summarise** the subscriptions listed below and calculate their real annual cost. 1. List every subscription with its monthly or annual cost. 2. Calculate the total monthly cost and total annual cost. 3.
